Question

Migrating multiple files (Jpeg, PDFs etc)

0

Hi, We are doing a migration from an old system into Mendix. We need to migrate multiple PDF’s and picture files into our mendix app in bulk and then associate them with the relevant object in our mendix app. What is the best way to do this? Thanks in advance. Richard

We use the SFTP module for this. But the file names should contain something you can use to retrieve the correct user. This way you can retrieve all those document from a SFTP server (if the client has none we use our own NAS for this). After retrieval we proces the files and mark those where no user can be found.

We made it even fancy so I can define multiple filename configs so I can not only retrieve the user but when put in the filename with a seperate marker use creation dates, type of documents original filename etc.
